ABSTRACT:
An image processing method for automatic detection of regions of a predetermined type of cancer in an intensity image of a part of a human or animal body, includes, for a number of points of a part of said image, the determination of a set (referred to as a vector) of components formed by characteristic values derived from the intensity distribution around each point in said part of the image, and the use of a classification system for determining the probability of the point associated with said vector belonging to a region of said part of the image which corresponds to the predetermined type of cancer or to another region. An image processing device for carrying out such a method is utilized in conjunction with a digital medical imaging system.
